In larger scale remediation projects, we can classify, sort and screen imported or native materials right on site. This approach allows us to minimize costs, passing savings on to landowners and most importantly, utilizing this approach results in a high quality and professionally completed project. For more information on these projects, and what we can do for your next project, please contact our offices.
A key strength of our unique approach is to work with landowners, whether agricultural or commercial, to implement and complete land remediation projects of varying scopes and complexity. This goes hand in hand with our transfer stations as it ensures fill deposited at remediation projects is clean and free of contaminates. Our field staff is experienced with material placement in a wide variety of challenging situations for varying purposes such as construction preparation, land reclamation or habitat enhancement.

Our pride and personal involvement in the work we perform results in superior quality and services. The attitude is also directly reflected in our employee’s level of responsibility, professionalism, and competency.
We’ve worked with our customers for years because our relationships are built on trust and performance. Our employees have been chosen based on their ability and level of craftsmanship, as well as their personal qualities and values. We believe that having our own employees provides us with more immediate control over the direction and nature of the construction process.
The Aggressive mission is to provide the highest quality workmanship possible. We succeed at this because of the integrity of our employees and staff, our commitment to a solid work ethic, and our passion for staying current with the newest innovations in our industry, with the consideration for the environment.
Aggressive Welding and Fabricating has grown a lot over the 30+ years in business but is still a small company at heart. It has built a reputation as an honest, safe, and reliable company where employees, managers, and owners work alongside each other to get a job done and maintain the integrity of the work they do. With the experiences gained in handling major projects, our clients are continuously being invited to bid on sizable projects.
Signatory to the Building trades, Iron Workers Local 97, and Millwrights Local 2736, Aggressive employs experienced trades skilled in industrial environments. Aggressive has a proven safety and quality assurance track record verifiable through the Canadian Welding Bureau, WorkSafeBC, and ISNetworld.
Aggressive is engaged primarily in providing a range of industrial construction and maintenance services for various industries such as sawmills, pipelines, oil & gas, bulk terminals, cement plants, marine terminals, and ports.
To that end, we have sponsored a diverse range of events from Wet’suwet’en’s Elders, Youth, & Families Christmas Dinner to the University of Northern BC’s Active Minds STEM camps. Some of our other sponsorships include:
We believe partnership is much more than a business arrangement – it is a commitment to the well-being of the individuals within tha community. In the past 5 years, Radloff has supportedover 75 separate initiatives that have had a positive impact within our partner-communities. Ourprimarily goal is to promote the educational and physical well-being of youth & children but wetake time to listen and respond to the priorities set out by the people we serve.

Since then, Radloff has continued to work tirelessly to hold paramount the safety, health, and welfare of the public, including the protection of the environment and the promotion of health & safety in the workplace.
